Bush / Bin Laden Odd Couple?

Having just finished reading two articles and watching a taping of a TV show, I couldn't help but notice the similarities amongst all of them.

First was the article where Bin Laden offered to negotiate a "truce" of sorts with the United States (Bush). I followed that with an article from Tokyo, where the zoo there had a rat snake that had stopped eating frozen mice, so they offered it a live hamster instead as a treat. What follows instead of a meal for the snake is an unlikely friendship between the two including them sleeping together. Then I watched an episode of "Beauty and the Geek, a TV series about average looking (or less), brainy guys with no social skills who team up with beautiful girls with all the social skills,but little or no brains.

Are you starting to see the correlation yet? Of course you are; Bush is the "beauty" with social skills and no brains, while Bin Laden is the "geek" with the brains and no social skills. In the zoo article about the snake and the hamster (or rat as I prefer) it makes little difference who is who, both are interchangeable. What matters is the possibility of such an unlikely alliance taking place at all. I suppose we'll have to wait to see who the winner is (who eats who) before deciding who the snake is. But Bush in "bed" with Osama isnt so far fetched given Bush' love of Arab men
There is however precedent in the latter because after all the U.S. has made these type alliances before. Just look at the alliance between the U.S. and Saddam Hussein when Saddam was feuding with Iran in the 80's or the U.S. Bin laden alliance also in the 80's when Osama was fighting for Afghanistan against the Russians, something the United States was all for at the time.
